The Great War is over now; the main characters are at the end of their journey. They look back and reflect on the events that led up to this great devastation. They try to understand what transpired in their minds and in their interactions with the other actors which ineluctably determined the course of history. The dance drama focuses on the differing perceptions of the main characters of the epic
